Injured On a Boat or Offshore Platform? Our Houston Offshore Injury Lawyers Can Help.
Last updated on October 1, 2024
When accidents occur in a maritime environment, workers often struggle with ensuing legal questions. Does it matter whether I was injured on a ship, liftboat, jack-up rig, semisubmersible, offshore platform or on a maritime loading dock? Is my employer responsible to pay for my medical treatment? How do I ensure that no one else is injured in the same type of accident? How can I provide for my family if I am unable to work?
